Southampton

Main Prospect is great for dinner and drinks, sure. But we love it as a gathering spot for Sunday brunch, Friday trivia, and Saturday evening jazz nights. (It’s also bookable for weddings and other large events.)

Given the huge “LUNCH” sign hanging over the doorway, you couldn’t miss the Lobster Roll’s new Southampton spot (as casual and welcoming as its Amagansett outpost) even if you tried. The lobster rolls here are excellent, whether you go Connecticut or Maine style.

Wishbone Farms is the gourmet food store we all wish for in our neighborhoods. The weekend boxes (filled with all the bites and sauces you need to rustle up a barbecue or breakfast spread at home) are a great fix if you have guests coming over. Self-described as a “market-to-fridge” concept, their little in-store café is packed with restaurant-quality prepared foods, baked goods, and excellent iced coffees. Images courtesy of Sean Zanni.

Hauser & Wirth’s long-anticipated Southampton space is here under the direction of Marc Payot. Images courtesy of Hauser & Wirth, Georgo Condo, Henry Taylor, and Genevieve Hanson.

Fivestory’s cavernous Madison Avenue space offers the kind of boutique shopping experience that’s historically unique to NYC; deeply curated, customer-centric, and cutting edge. New owner Karen Murray has expanded the store’s reach and opened a Southampton pop-up on Job’s Lane. Expect an expansive designer line-up of casual, beachy items and swimwear, personal shopping, beautiful vintage pieces, and a breezy, nautical-themed interior.

Breakfast at Sant Ambroeus on Saturday mornings is, for many Upper East Siders and West Villagers, a standing order. When those same crowds descend on the Hamptons for the summer, not much changes.

There’s a rich history behind the grounds and building of this temporary hotel: It formerly housed the Village Latch Inn and the Grand Annex to the Southampton Irving Hotel in the early 1900s. The cabanas and rooms are newly refurbished in a clean grey-and-white palette. Set on five acres with an expansive yard, it is a relaxing, no-frills place to stay within walking distance of Southampton’s shops and restaurants.

With its easy, summertime pieces (think: swimwear, cover-ups, and wraps) and comfortable, romantic lingerie, it was only a matter of time before this lifestyle brand made its way to the Hamptons. The pop-up shop carries the complete collection, including its mini line for children, for which we may be the most excited about.

Anything Tracy Anderson does, we jump on the bandwagon. Our go-to trainer has drastically improved our lives and our health–so naturally we're excited about her latest collaboration with Golden Pear Cafe. This summer, she's curated a menu of smoothies available at all four cafe locations, including Southampton, East Hampton, Sag Harbor, and Bridgehampton. Organic, gluten and fructose-free, each blend is mixed with her patented protein powder, ideal for pre/post workout nutrition and detoxing.

A staple for women's accessories, fine jewelry and ready-to-wear in Greenwich, CT, Copious Row brings its well-curated mix to Southampton with its second location, Copious Row Beach. With interiors exuding a modern beach vibe, the boutique features pieces by varied designers such as Lisa Marie Fernandez, Sonia Rykiel, and Rosetta Getty.
